Time to pay the piper for HRM parkers

The meter is running out on free parking in Halifax Regional Municipality.

HRM had suspended the enforcement of paid and hourly parking across the municipality in response to the COVID-19 outbreak.

As the province begins to ease restrictions and businesses resume operations, the municipality on June 1 will resume paid parking, hourly parking and enforcement.

All parking meters will be “on” and enforced in all areas across the municipality. HotSpot will be reactivated, and all meters will require payment. All bagged meters will continue to be enforced.

All time-restricted parking and loading zones of one hour, two hours or more, whether temporary or permanent, will be timed and enforced as of June 1.

New temporary 15-minute parking zones have been installed to facilitate the short- term pick-up needs of restaurants and other businesses.

Accessible parking will continue to be fully enforced and all parking permits expiring in March through to June will remain valid until customer service centres reopen. This includes monthly and residential parking permits.

Parking permit zones will be enforced. Once customer service centres reopen, the municipality will communicate next steps for the purchasing of parking permits and enforcement on its website.

Tow-away zones and transit priority lanes will continue to be enforced.
